内容简介

What happens when the century's greatest logician meets the century's greatest physicist ? In the case of Kurt G?del and Albert Einstein the result is G?del's revolutionary new world models for relativity theory. In the 'G?del Universe' the philosophical fantasy of 'time travel' becomes a scientific reality. For G?del, however, the reality of time travel signals the unreality of time . If G?del is right, the real meaning of the Einstein revolution remained, for half a century, a secret. Now, half a century after G?del met Einstein, the real meaning of time travel in the G?del Universe can at last be revealed.
